Angry birds and Windows Phone 7 Part Deux

Rovio have confirmed at the Le Web conference that they are working on a Windows Phone 7 version of Angry Birds, denying accusations that they had a tense relationship with Microsoft.

At Le Web CEO Mikael Hed said â€œWeâ€™re actively looking at WP7, we have a very good relationship with Microsoft.â€ Joking about the initial furore that resulted from Microsoft using the icon for their game at the launch of Market place, he said â€œThey just announced our game for the platform a bit ahead of schedule.â€

The company has had great success with the simplistic game, seeing more than 12 million paid downloads and 30 million ad-supported downloads, and are currently looking at a TV series, movies and plush toys.
